About the Book
"The BJP-RSS's ascent to power at the Centre has led to the increased assertion
of Hindutva politics, which is focused on Hindu nationalism in contrast to the
Indian nationalism envisaged by the freedom movement and the Indian
Constitution.

One of the components of Hindu nationalism is to perpetuate the caste hierarchy
in new forms. In this direction, RSS and it affiliates are adopting multiple
strategies. On one hand, they pay obeisance to Babasaheb Ambedkar and on the
other they promote the values of caste inequality in the name of “our glorious
heritage”. At the same time, RSS floats organizations like Samajik Samrasta
Manch to co-opt the Dalits into Brahmanic fold.

This book examines the issues raised by the politics of RSS and its effort to
suppress the Dalit aspirations of social justice and equality. It refers to
writings of Babasaheb to show that RSS-Hindutva politics stands in total
opposition to the ideology of Ambedkar and Dalits’ emancipation."

The Milli Gazette organised an essay
competition in 2015 to spread awareness about the Palestinian tragedy which
continues to fester in the Middle East as a result of the Israeli occupation and
refusal to concede to the Palestinian rights supported by hundreds of UN
resolutions, umpteen stands taken by governments around the world and
international forums.
A committee of experts examined the essays submitted and declared winners. The
topics for the essays were.
i. Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine are a threat to world peace;
ii. Palestine National Authority and Oslo Agreements - an assessment;
iii. Modern Palestinian resistance to colonisation and judisation - a brief
history (1918-2015);
iv. Blockade of Gaza Strip - a crime against humanity.

India has been witnessing an intense debate over
the concept of nationalism for the last few decades, especially with the Ram
Temple issue and Babri demolition, though its roots lie in the colonial period
when two types of nationalisms came up simultaneously. One was the
secular-democratic Indian nationalism while the other was an idea based on
religion, which in turn had two subsets, Hindu nationalism and Muslim
nationalism, both of which had their roots in the declining social forces which
perceived the changing social-political-economic scenario as a threat to their
vested interests. These nationalisms under the garb of religion did not
participate in the anti-colonial struggle which led to our freedom. The values
of Indian nationalism are enshrined in the Indian Constitution. This book casts
a serious look at the RSS, its emergence, ideology, growth pattern and impact on
the society and politics of India during the last few decades. The book compares
and contrasts the political phenomena of fundamentalism and fascism with the
programme of Hindutva. it elaborates the agenda of Hindutva which strives to
create a Hindu Rashtra (nation) and also discusses its impact on the rights of
the weaker sections of society, Dalits, adivasis, women and workers in addition
to its politics of the intimidation of religious minorities, Muslims and
Christians. Contents: Introduction / Fascism / Fundamentalism / Rashtriya

“Dr. Shamsul Islam has written the most
neglected chapter in the history of the Indian freedom struggle: on Muslims
who were opposed to Partition. Based on ground-breaking research, it is an
outstanding contribution which should set the record straight in great
measure.“
Dr. Ishtiaq Ahmed, Professor Emeritus, Stockholm University

“Muslims against Partition, who paid with their lives for Hindu-Muslim
unity, have been written out of history in official Pakistani discourse for
obvious reasons. More shockingly, they were written out of Indian history as
well. It is this glaring missing chapter that Shamsul Islam’s
matter-of-fact, meticulously researched and immensely readable book,
gloriously fills.”
Anand Patwardhan, renowned author & film-maker

Golwalkar’s
We or Our Nationhood Defined

We are witnessing a concerted attempt by the
RSS to establish MS Golwalkar as the ‘prophet of a resurgent India,’ ‘a
saint,’ ‘the best son of Bharat mata,’ and the ‘biggest gift to Hindu
society in the 20th Century,’... This in spite of the fact that Golwalkar,
throughout his life, remained committed to the concept of Hindutva which
meant an inherent faith in Casteism, Racism and Totalitarianism. He stood
for the establishment of a Hindu rashtra, or nation, where minorities
like Muslims and Christians could exist only as second class citizens.

This book attempts to put across actual facts
about Golwalkar’s life and beliefs in the light of his original writings,
publications of the RSS, documents available in its archives and many other RSS
documents the writer collected over the last 35 years from different parts of
the country, especially the original text of his book We or Our Nationhood
Defined (1939) which is being fully reproduced in this book. It is the most
important text in order to understand the RSS’ concept of Hindu state, and has
not been available to the public after 1947.

The All India Muslim Majlis-e Mushawarat, or
Mushawarat for short, emerged half a century ago in very difficult times
when communal riots had engulfed many parts of north India and some Muslims
had started even leaving the country in despair. In those difficult times,
some selfless leaders of the community from all over the country came
together, discussed and formed a common platform for all Muslims, to think,
guide and interact with the forces in society. This book sheds lights on the
extraordinary lives of those stalwarts and their followers who kept the
flames burning and still manage to keep that common platform intact and
strong giving voice to the community nationally and internationally.

Is it true that the RSS idolizes Fascism &
Hitler?
Is RSS loyal to National Flag?
RSS demands promulgation of Laws of Manu in place of Indian Constitution, What
is going to be the fate of Dalits & women?
Does RSS have faith in Democracy, Secularism and Federalism?
Why was RSS banned after the murder of Gandhiji?
Did RSS support the Freedom Movement?
Does RSS respect martyrs of the Freedom Movement like Bhagat Singh?
How does non-political RSS conspire to manipulate national politics?
Is RSS helping organisations like ISI?
Does RSS believe in Two-Nation Theory like pre-Partition Muslim League?

It is indeed paradoxical that political
strategy exercised by the same man, which led to BJP’s defeat in the 2004
Lok Sabha polls, played a key role in helping the same party return to power
in 2014 with a massive mandate. The man was the same, Narendra Modi. But the
strategy exercised by him and his team during their campaign for the 2014
Lok Sabha elections was totally different. With a focus on this, the author,
a veteran journalist and commentator, probes into what can be viewed as a
communication strategy during Modi’s first year in office as Prime Minister.
The alacrity with which Modi has, throughout his political career, displayed
his tendency to dominate media headlines stands out too markedly to be
ignored. This has been an important tool of his communication strategy. This
book elaborates on the degree to which Modi’s communication strategy can be
viewed as a success in promoting his credentials as India’s premier.
